We demand:

Abolish all lagers! As long as lagers exist, there have to be women’s floors!

Gender specific persecution is a reason for asylum and needs to be acknowledged!

The personal is political: Make women and their work visible!

Whereever there is war, there is rape – stop exporting weapons, stop war!

There are no safe countries of origin for Roma-Women – Stop (Mass-) deportations to so-called safe countries!

Stop violence against WomenLesbianInterTrans*! Acknowledge the specific oppression and persecution of Transwomen of Colour!

Women are specifically affected by poverty – Stop capitalist exploitation and land grabbing!

Stop imperialistic politics against refugees! No borders, no fences! Freedom of movement!

Stop the misogynistic system!

Recognise and fight racism and sexism, in ourselves, in society and within the system- individually and structurally.

We women – united and organized – won’t allow capitalism to divide us!
